Troubleshooting Shift Problems
NOTE: The following information is provided to assist an installer in troubleshooting if hard shifting
or chucking/racheting is encountered when shifting into FORWARD gear.
1. When installing the control box in the side panel of the boat, ensure that the cables have
enough clearance to operate. This is necessary because the cables move up and down when
the shift handle is moved. If the control box is mounted too far back toward any fiberglass
structure, the cables will be interfered with; this will cause very hard shifting.
NOTE: The control box housing can be rotated in 30 degree increments to improve cable routing.

On right‑hand propeller rotation drive units, while turning the propeller shaft clockwise,
move the remote control shift handle into full reverse position. The clutch should engage
before the shift lever comes to a stop. If the clutch does not engage, loosen the adjustable
stud on the shift lever and move it up in the slot until the clutch engages with the reverse
gear. Tighten the stud and shift the remote control several times and stop in reverse to
check the shift cutout switch position. The pin must be centered.
